AT&T stated it will begin to charge penalties for some customers. 4G LTE customers will be hurt the most. Their data download levels per month will be limited to 5 GB. For 3G customers, that figure will be 3 GB.
AT&T will probably make more money from heavy use customers who go over these limits. Alternatively cost conscious subscribers will burden AT&T’s network less. Either way, the phone company wins. It is too early to see if the action will cause any AT&T subscribers to defect to other service providers.
